I hope you have a foul weather bike. :wink:


Thanks, I'm a very lucky guy and ride that in foul weather :D :

Thanks. I like yours too although I'm personally only a fan of the colour code, not the "Martini" brand as such.

Here are first pictures in sunlight. Very bright though:

You did a fantastic job on the paintwork :thumbup: Classy and with respect of the original De Rosa paint job. Only gripe for me : the wheels are a little 'loud' and get too much attention. The frame deserves all the attention. I would begin with removing the stickers and trying a set of dark ones instead.

Lovely paint job!

The wheels have been repainted as well, haven't they?

There is no shading in the edges of the letters...

Looks very nice outside! I like that you kept the original paint design of De Rosa. They always have lovely paint designs.
I love the colors and the motorsport side of the brand. I'm a big fan of the rally era with Lancia.

The logos on the wheels don't look like the originals. I would install the stock dark labels. You want to give all the attention to that beautiful frame and paintjob. :thumbup:

Nah, show off those Bora's too (or is that Two? :D )
Everything looks spot on. Well done.

looks great, I think you should switch to white cables so it ties into the frame a little more

That looks brilliant, love the color scheme and the lack of 'Martini' branding. Very nice build!
